In Memory of Julie “Julz” Karamanos
It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share the untimely passing of our friend and colleague, Julie “Julz” Karamanos. Julz gave freely of her time and talents to our cause for over 15 years, serving on the Board of LRP, Inc., interfacing with adoption applicants, personally acknowledging donors, and often taking the time to drop a handwritten note to acknowledge gifts made in memory of a special individual or dog. We, as a group, were the better for having Julz, as were the dogs she herself adopted, fostered and transported. Through it all, the happy rescues, the difficult ones, and the sometimes heartbreaking, Julz’ unfailing good nature and easy temperament made everything easier. She, along with her obvious, unconditional, and overwhelming love for the dogs she helped us to save, will be forever missed.
Rest easy at the rainbow bridge Julz, with all of the wonderful dogs you have loved that passed before you.
